Rom suggestions wanted

Ok, so here's the thing. I'm currently running rmk gingersense. It's been pretty good, but i'm fairly tired of sense, and lately have had lots of little issues with it like bluetooth shutting itself off, updates not downloading, etc. I'm a fan of CM7 but i can't run CM7/MIUI roms because of the volume issues.
Can anyone recommend a good rom where things like volume and other basic functions work well but offer something other than sense?

Dude, I ran MIUI just a few days ago and it was fine. I was using the Tiamat 1.1.3 kernel for sound issues, and that fixed them. And I've heard it works wonders on cm7 as well.
Personally I've been running Newt's DINC2HD for the past few days and I can't get myself to run anything else lol.

MIUI is awesome w/ Tiamat, so is CM7. One of the only other really great popular roms out there is Virtuous and I believe it's an AOSP as well. Personally I enjoy sense to death. The only issue is that it tends to drain more battery, so AOSP is the way to go.
On a side note tyler, have you tried the skyraider rom? It looks promising. Also, the pyramid rom looks pretty nifty too.

Maybe I'll check miui and CM7 out again, then. CM7 was way too quiet when I first tried it, and since I'm on call a lot, good volume is critical.
Is the headset mic bug fixed now?

I've tried both of those, and virtuous (which is rmk's sense 3.0 ROM) and they don't stand up (in my himble opinion) to DINC2HD, which is pretty much a sneak preview (if you will) of what's to come in HTC's lineup. This is not to be confused with Newt's Bliss MySense 3.5; definitely not the same thing. Go check 'em out. Due to the fact that Newt left XDA, you have to go to his site to get the ROMs.

It was a bit laggy for me as well, until I messed with the OC Daemon... Now it's snappy, especially if you use his patch and flashover.

Interesting. I'll have to look that stuff up. I didn't realize there were those patches. I must've missed a few days of posting on it lol.

Yeah in the OP, under the download for the ROM itself, there's the patch and under that is the flashover. Install the ROM, set it up, then go to recovery and flash the patch and flashover. you can also flash any mods then as well.

dinc2hd is sense based, yes? i'm leaning toward miui right now for the claimed camera improvements, provided audio is OK. i really like the speed and customizability of the vanilla roms.

Yes, DINC2HD is sense based, but it's sense 3.5 which I don't think is officially released.

Yeah it is. I never had an issue with the I2HD audio. CM7 is supposed to have an improved camera. They supposedly removed the grey around the borders and made it more like the sense-camera. Also, they added in their own custom lock-ring lockscreen.

Lemme rephrase that. There's no official support from HTC on sense 3.5 on devices that don't natively run it. lol

I ran CM7 for about a year on my old incredible. Sense 3.0 is a really nice change. Loving virtuous.

CM7 is amazing. Just use a custom kernel to fix call issues. Just remember that cyanogenmod is still beta, nightlies are buggy. Personally I haven't observed wifi mms issues others are reporting up to nightly 85 which is my current.

Coming to ICS Rom first time which is best?

Ok i have not put anything new on my phone in a month.I have cauks older Rom.I have not even updated it.
I was reading the development section and i am lost in reading.So going to 1 for the first time and not having tons of issues that i get stuck with which Rom seems to be doing the best in the ICS rom section?
I understand ill get different views from people who love 1 person but i really just want to best Rom going on right now.
thanks.

I like Calks (2) Roms...Either One and and right now Im runnin Mijjah 74's Goodness at the Moment...Ive run all three... All three Roms work exceptionally Well..

probably Calkulin but...
i agree about the three of those being good bets. i've heard and read the most positive things about Calukin's stuff. It's not uncommon for other ROMs to be based on his work.
That being said, I'm also on Mijjah's Blend ICS (the Goodness). The earlier versions had a few more hiccups (mainly GPS). I'm on ver 2.5.1 and have not ran into any issues yet. GPS, check. Notification sounds, check. Notification LED indicator... oh, OK. 1 minor issue so far.

The test builds of CM9 is working pretty well, battery life is kinda bad though and for some reason it doesn't play audio through my car dock.
Sigh, back to Gingerbread I go...

Depends on your personal preference... If you wish to remain on Touchwiz, try one of the above suggestions.
For AOSP, there's CM9, AOKP, and Codename. All are smooth and filled with customizable options.
Personally, I'm in love with Codename(over General atm)

AOKP is badass for sure, TCP did a great job. Much better than the others imo. Havent tried Codename yet but i hear its slightly better due to more customizing

These ICS roms have tons of bugs. Nothing really major aside from complete incompatibility with my bt car kit.
But still, they are far from being a daily driver.
If I had to choose, I'd probably pick aospmod rom.

False, the FC leaks ones are 99% bug free.
CM9, Codename and AOKP all have their share of serious bugs.

I've been running Codename for a week, and haven't experienced a single serious bug. It's almost as solid for me as the GB Touchwiz roms were.
OP, it really depends on what you want. If you want Touchwiz, then I'd definitely go with one of Calk's roms. If you want AOSP, then I'd recommend Codename, followed by CM9, then AOKP.

I think 99% might be an overestimate. Some lucky folk have had that experience, a great many other people are getting only a "few" bugs, but fundamental ones, like borked contacts and failing notifications, etc.

I don't know of any rom on any phone that works 100%. Even official Samsung releases don't work 100%.

I keep running back to gingerbread. I kept telling myself that I will try ics when its an official release. I get the itch to flash something and always go back to what works. I was running for a day, a rom from someone, but had to Odin back to EL29 because there was something I wanted to do but couldn't because of a snafu. I personally prefer stability over the newest bells and whistles.

Same here. I keep telling myself it would be the same, buggy enough not to be useful as a daily driver, but the flashaholic in me takes over.
So, hours are usually wasted.

Yeah i think ill just update cauks non ics rom for a bit yet and let the bugs play out.

I've been running Agat63's tFCXX series (currently on tFC18 0.1.1) since FC06; they're as smooth as ICS roms get, IMHO. A nice light "frosting" of the AOSP ICS look (courtesy of tiffany84), choice between stock and rogue-repacked (w/ CWM recovery) kernels, otherwise generally fairly close to the "stock" leaks except where Agat can convince himself he's not adding bugs/instability beyond what is naturally going to be in a leaked pre-release with build.prop tweaks, bloatware trimming, and such. Plus he's incredibly responsive to his users' requests and very open to providing them options.
FC06/FC07 was _just_ good enough to be a DD for me (but _barely_). FC15 and now FC18 have been nearly flawless in my experience. Of course, YMMV but I find _very_ little to complain about. Just my experience - the one thing I've learned from reading a LOT in ICS related threads is that everybody's phone behaves a little bit differently, everyone uses their phone a little bit differently, and everyone wants something a little bit different -- my recommendation would be to nandroid and start testing the roms ppl mention in this thread until you find one that works well for you (or decide ICS isn't done enough for you yet and you want to stay on GB a little bit longer).

My recommendation would be to wait until an official ICS release.
There's really not that much new ICS has to offer over GB. Not for this phone anyway.

For tw roms, yes ics is very similar to gb. But there's a world of difference between gb aosp and ics aosp. Like cm7 << cm9. Agreed that there's still bugs to be worked out for any ics roms, but some really good work has been done by our devs without having e4gt ics source released.
OP, if you do try ics roms right now, its a really good idea to be very cautious using any ics recovery. There is a real risk with bricking your phone, especially with aosp roms.

[Q] Current Latest and Greatest Rom for Inc2

Hello everyone,
I'm new here and new to this scene, but familiar with hacking on other types of devices. My sis just upgraded her phone and gave me a Inc2. My first instinct was to hack it and so I ended up currently with a rooted S-off Inc2. My next issue is what Rom to use. I see so many out there and have had problems trying to install a couple. Since ther are so many, i know theres no clear cut "Latest and Greatest" but as i stand now, i have no clue where i should be looking. So I'm asking what u guys would consider latest and greatess. I'm really looking into going as high up in the OS as possible while also having the best stability with as much working as possible. Any Idea's?

What do you prefer? For ASOP, we have some very stable ICS CM9 ROM's and Stable CM10 Rom's. The CM10 ROMs don't have a working ffc camera or 720p camcorder, but everything else seems to work. For those who like sense, Nit's Sense 4 Viper Rom is quite nice. I typically change ROM's every two weeks, so i have tried quite a lot.

I vote for aeroevans CM10 or if you want ICS then Condemned Soul's Kangdemnation

Well I'm not sure wether to go ASOP or Sense but from what i gather most ppl prefer ASOP, so I guess i would also. I generally would like to have everything working also.
Another thing thing would be that would i need to flash anything else besides the rom? Like kernels or anything?

Paranoid Android its a Phone/Tablet hybrid if you don't use the ffc or video that much it is my daily at the moment. "(11-4-2012)(JB)(CM10) Global 4.1.2 (4.2)" and "{10-25-2012}{Rom}{ICS} Official Global CM9" are pretty smooth running roms (I haven't had a chance to give build 3 of CM10 a try yet). "[ROM] [Port] Andromadus Mimicry 1.5 [CM9.1 Stable]" another very good ICS rom and very stable as well. Those are the ones I have been messing with the last couple of months.

If you want everything working you'll have to stay stock. Jelly Bean is great but it will always have a few issues no matter what rom you are on.

I have the Incredible HD RLS 2 (ICS 4.0.4 Sense 3.6) ROM if you want it. It real nice and loaded with features. Only problem is that the memory is like maxed out. (cause it pretty much stock) after my first pass through I was able to free up about 60mb. I personally get rid of junk like calander, weather, etc. You can get way smaller apps for these in the app store. After I free up space it ran faster. Me personally... I like to keep mine stock (deodexed of course), debloated, and themed. Mine runs so fast! If you were to go with this I'd recommend a overclocked kernel as well!

Cm7.2 is probably safer. I think all ICS and jb ROMs have slight issues at best due to lack of source. MROM is nice. If she doesn't want to deal with occasional reboots and often flakey cameras (some are pretty stable but results vary), I would stay with gingerbread.

DD is subjective. I have used PAC now for a DD. It has some hiccups occasionally but I work through it.
You should read through some of the threads for more details. Not everyone has the same experience. But you may experience lag, random reboots, camera force closes or a need to clear data to make camera work periodically. You will likely have to manually input APN settings, which only has to be done once so no biggie there. You may have no problem at all. For someone who likes tinkering it isn't a big deal to do those things. But if you are looking for a ROM for someone who just wants it to work, and not have to possibly switch due to issues, and who hates resetting everything like a new phone, gingerbread is more stable. All the ICS and JB ROMs use a hacked gingerbread kernel except for sense ROMs using a stock kernel. There is no custom sense kernel for ICS or jb. And there are some nice sense ROMs on gingerbread also, with great features. And because they are what the phone is meant to run they don't really have issues. I know you say you don't want her "stuck" on sense, but she might like it. Take a look at nits sense ROMs, as well as skyraider zues. I have used zues as a fallback for quite some time. Andy bones had some nice mods for it too. Bottom line, if she doesn't mind a few possible issues try a few and see, but if she just wants it to work right, don't mess with her phone just for your sake.
If you do try some, dk's ROMs and chilly's have been good so far. Not perfect but great work considering lack of source. Hope this helps.

I'm using an aeroevan kernel and the supercharger script. Also incredicontrol to oc to 1.4GHz.
Flashed the latest Verizon radio.
Rock. Solid.
-CM7 on DInc2

We picked the phone up yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised to find it already s-offed and cm7 installed on it. I don't know about the radios on it. Probably won't mess with it since it's for my wife. Thanks for all the help.

What is the best rom?

Hey guys,
Whats the best latest htc desire rom that is stable with app2sd or sd-ext capabilities in it, so as i wont have to deal with low space issues..the one i am using now has a slow performance and apps take time to start + crashing...
Thanks.

I'm using the cm10 jb rom from vj and it seems pretty good. I did run out of space until I moved davlik cache to sd, but I think that's because I have a lot of apps installed

I also advise vj's CM10 jelly bean ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1945441). It's fast and stable. I find only video recording/playing is problematic.
I use it in combination with custom MTD partition this way : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=806321. I have size 190 2.
I don't move dalvik to SD. Although I haven't experimented lately anymore, my experience is dalvik on SD was slower. With a big enough partition you can keep data and dalvik on internal. Or using Titanium Backup (pro?), move dalvik into the system partition if you keep system partition large enough (about 30-40MB to spare). That frees up the storage on internal.

If you need something really stable and reliable, don't go to anything above android 2.3 based though.

Nice. Not only we got another best rom thread but we collectively evolved to place Jellybean in them.

Chrome issue and YouTube flickering are known issues on that ROM along with WiFi tethering. This is expected on a 3yr old phone.
Apart from that everything else is working as expected. And many can live with the above issues.
And that guy and few others like Nikez and Croni are doing an amazing job to keep our Desire's alive. Else this would have been a forgotten chapter long ago.
And yea stability is for each of his own. For me this works. And JB is addictive too. :beer:

Bs. Stability is decisive as laws of the physics are. It is either true or false, 1 or 0, + or -. There are no buts, exceptions or any of that bs there.

Your idea about it is bs. You're an old dumb a** stuck on the thought that GB is stable and nothing else. You aren't ready to think and try beyond that.
So just keep your thinking to yourself and stop bashing and poking into every thread thats appreciative of JB or ICS. As I said earlier, without these great devs, this phone would have been dead long ago.
Learn to respect hard work being done by the devs to keep this phone alive on XDA or anywhere else.
If you're happy with your aged and outdated ROM, you better stick to it.

Tytung's NexusHD2 CM10 ROM (here) shows that it is possible to have a QSD8250/Adreno200 phone running JellyBean perfectly stable with all features working - including 720p H/W decoding. I believe it is just a matter of time before some of the legacy QCOM OMX library modifications done by the likes of tytung and Ganster41 make their way over here and bring some of that same goodness to our Bravos.

Nice. Maybe porting that rom could solve the Desire JB stability problem. They do have the exact same cpu, so it should be easy to port.
Is butter working on the HD2?

Erklat, this rom is stable, period. I am using it for more than a week now and I really happy to gave jb on my desire. It has some bugs, but I can live with them. Jb is worth it.
Don't be so reluctant to try it...

You really have to get yourself a life. Same goes to that erklat. I think I am speaking for most of the users here when I tell you to stop nagging and get a freakin life instead of complaining 24-7. WE GET IT, YOU DONT LIKE ICS/JB on Desire.

I think all the hate towards ics/jb came from the fact that a lot of users kept complaining about various bugs, even when the roms where in Alpha state, expecting an ics/jb rom to work like a gb rom on our Desires.
But still, devs have worked hard, and these roms aren't as bad as they used to be, or as bad as some say.
The conclusion is that we shouldn't make any new "best rom" threads.

Hahaha ok. Ur missing the point, its not that i dont like jb, if i didnt like it then why the f**k would i even bother trying them? The fact is that people keep saying they r stable and vj cm10 is stable when it isnt, having "fastest/stable" in the title is a joke coz its far from it.
And all i do is complain 24/7? I got 400 ish thanks coz i helped people fix thier phones, not because i complain.

I don't have reboots, camera works fine (I am using camera fx), what lag?
I am a power user. But I don't play games, so that's the only thing I don't care about...
And when I watch videos in YouTube I get no flickering.

Look, i know every phone is different and some roms somehow work better on different devices. But when i used it, downloading something using chrome caused the phone to reboot, camera worked then sometimes the screen would go funny and u had close it then open again. The lag came after like 2 days IF u hadnt rebooted ur phone in the 2 days, a reboot took it away. After 2/3 days of my phone being on, if i long pressed the screen to add a widget r that, the popup box (widgets,apps etc) went mental, it was like 50 mashed up little boxes in 1. And ofcourse there a few other bugs that r known.
I never said JB is crap or people shouldnt use it, im not slating it at all or i wouldnt even bother my a$$ trying it, my point was simply that pretty much every1 says its stable when its quite clear its not (yet).
I do respect ALL devs and im glad they keep bringing new roms to our phones, if i didnt then i would be s-on, not rooted and using stock 2.3 gb from htc.

No, you're talking about something almost impossible, everything has bugs.
If you say stable means 1 or 0, GB is not stable, end of story!

Video isn't flickering any more, this is a WIP, things aren't as dead as the ancient sense/cm7 roms you're using.
If you don't like it, don't use it or send me a PM and I'll refund the money, oh wait.....
Christmas is over guys

Everyone should just chill the f down and get a life, everyone single user in this forum want the same, a FULLY working rom with the best features available for the HTC Desire, just get along!
